IMPROVEMENT IN COLLARS.

The `Sehedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it 'mae/ concerf/r.I v

Be it known that I, CYRUS W. SALADEE', of Circleville, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Mode of Making Paper Collars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the aceompan yin gdrawings, and t'o the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the applieaf tion, to the inside surfaceV of vturn-dow`n paper collars, of a thin sheet of paper, of anyl appropriate design and color, the turn-down portion of the collar being perforated in any fancied desig'n, through which perforar tions the finished surface of the colored paper applied on the inside may be exposed, to produce an ornamental effect; or, when a full cravat is used, the fabric vcomposing it Willrbe exposed through these perforations with the same ornamented result.

I purpose manufacturing these collars in a great variety of design, both as to the style and figure of the paper o'r fabric used on the inside surface of the collar, the shape of the perforation made through the turndown side of the same to be varied to snit the demand of trade or fashion.

For example, these perforations may consist of ,a

star, an anchor, square and compass, three link s, or' the emblem of any other secret order, or emblem of military rank, and I may make them omitting the ooi-l ored or finished paper on the insidel surface, and perfor-ate the turn-down side in such manner as to expose through it any4 printed design upon the inside of the collar, it being so arranged as to register with the perforation on the outside, and thus to expose to'view,

through the perforations, any design I may print on l the inside of the collar, and which. arrangement will admit of an almost endless variety of design, Where n the collar is worn with the buttery neck-tie.

In the drawings- Figure liepresents the inside surface of "a tnrnfdown collar, before it is folded, and shows the colored-paper finish, as above described, and also the perforations D, through which the design of the figure or color of the paper is seen, when in use.

Figure 2 represents the same collar, turned down and in' position, With buttery neck-tie, andshowsl the design of the colored paper through the perforaf tions D.

Figure 3 represents the same collar, with full era vat, and exposing to view, through the perforations-D D, the figure or color of the cravat.

,Figure 4 represents the same collar, spread out,

(inside v'iew,) showing the printed design hereinbefore described; also, perforations C C, for the reception of the ends of the butterfly neck-tie.

Figure 5 represents the same collar, in position, with butterdy nccltie, and exposing, through .the perforation D,rthe design printed on the inside of the collar.`

Having thus fully described the nature and object of my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A collar, Whose. inner surface is ornamented by printing, painting, stamping, or embossing any figure'
